Excellent Stay in a Great Location

immaculate roomcomfortable bedconvenient parkingfriendly staff

The room was looked super fresh and the bed was really comfortable I was happy to find convenient on-site parking. The internet access worked without any trouble I could easily connect and stay online. The staff at reception was really friendly and helpful they always greeted me with a smile.

The decor in the main building was somewhat dark I noticed a lot of black , made the place feel a little dismal.

generally alright stay

friendly staffample storagemissing plugfreezing room

the staff were indeed very friendly. our room was clean and tidy with plenty of storage space, and tea and coffee facilities were present.

i found that there was no plug in the bath, slightly inconvenient. the room felt freezing, and i was told the heating comes on late. it did not come on when expected.
